Bert,

The first part of the problem is that the fourth and fifth formal
parameters to 'getdefaults' are defined as 'int *' but the variables
'plimit' and 'flimit' in 'swish.c' are declared as 'long'.

You can change the declaration and definition of getdefaults to
expect 'long *' for parameters four and five:

 void getdefaults _AP ((char *, int *, int *, long *, long *, int))

The function definition is:

 void getdefaults(conffile, hasdir, hasindex, plimit, flimit,hasverbose)
 char *conffile;
 int *hasdir;
 int *hasindex;
 long *plimit;
 long *flimit;
 int hasverbose;  

Your must be compiling in ANSI mode and hence the mistmatch is being
detected. One option is to compile in K&R mode instead. The gcc
compiler is quite forgiving about ANSI/K&R conformance and hence you
are only receiving warnings anyway. I guess most people must
ignore them.

Rgds,
Kenneth
